Fathers and daughters are truly something else. You feel it in how Gus reads Riley's books to himself before reading them to her, or in how Teddy looks at Hank's tattooed knuckles.

This book was about more than 'the world's hottest discoball' and the grumpy rancher falling in love. It's about female friendships, father-daughter relationships, and navigating life's changes. And then, because we come to Meadowlark for its amazing love stories (and its gorgeous views), Lyla knocks it out of the park in the romance department.
